🔔 New episode! 🔔 'Density: Just a fancy word for overcrowding?' ... wherein we try to establish a bit of context 😱 about a topic everybody's an expert on 👉 webuiltitthatway.captivate.fm/episode/densit…
New episode coming out later today! 😎 We'll wade into the world of everybody's favorite villain/hero: Density.
the apple car. built to elegantly distract you from remembering that you just distractedly ran someone over. 😍😍
japan discourages car ownership with cities banning street parking over night. this opens their streets to be curbless, pedestrian oriented, and vibrant. in japan 80% of kids walk to school. in the US that's 10% listen to @99piorg's great podcast! wnyc.org/story/505-firs…
So many neighborhoods are still stuck in the "before" phase of the inevitable street reclamation before/afters.
I love biking, it brings me great joy, and I am a very experienced and extremely careful rider AND I feel like it’s only a matter time before I wind up in the hospital We need to treat vehicular violence like the emergency it is.
Absolutely fantastic (and delightful) interview with Dr. @sue_pierre, whose approach and field of study @CriticalEcology is refreshing and necessary! 10/10 do recommend listening

Can't have alleys that create little moments of delight like this if we require every building to have a sea of parking around it
is this really what we want the start and end of every school day to look like?
Lots of places are dangerous, unpleasant, unlovable, and cannot last. Because we ... built them that way. Poured all that money into outcomes like this *on purpose*
Looking to move to a bikeable-ish big city that doesn't charge SF or NYC rents? Enjoyed this video from our friends over at @propelbike Any quibbles with this top 10? youtu.be/aR-J2fcNksM
i love this kind of thing. shows you are serious about making intersections safer, without waiting around for a full street redo. and it's not only functional, it's also a delightful bit of extra greenery, small as it may be. glad to see @CityMinneapolis making progress
